frank: 5:13. welcome back. danielle vollmar in here in the weather center with me. tracking hurricane joaquin. right now, the u.s. coast guard is frantically searching for a cargo ship with 28 americans on board the "el faro" was caught in the storm as hurricane joaquin battered the bahamas. the vessel en route from florida to puerto rico signaled that it

had lost power near crooked island. and take a look here. dramatic images as the coast guard rescues a dozen people from another cargo ship as it joaquin is a powerful category 3 it continues to track away from the east coast. but there is some major flooding up and down the eastern seaboard. carolina are dealing with heavy the wet weather relentless. it's expected to last through the weekend. flooded roadways presenting some challenges for drivers. cars stalling in the high water. the heaviest rains will likely come in several rounds through monday. governor nikki haley declaring a state of emergency. >> governor. this will be an historic rainfall event that we have never seen before in south carolina. antoinette: meteorologists say rainfall totals across some areas could reach ten to twelve inches and as much as 15 to 18

inches of rain in some of south carolina's low-country. the flooding also a major concern in new jersey right now. yesterday. a nor'easter soaked the state, dumping several inches of rain up and down the jersey shore. danielle, that rain, we see a lot of it behind us still. but at least joaquin is kind of moving out of the picture. danielle: it's moving out for us sparing pretty much all the east coast. unfortunately that rain isn't coming from joaquin. joaquin is well to the south. i want to show you the position real quick if we can. you can see a stationary front and a area of low pressure that has been bringing all that rain, as antoinette mentioned, to the carolinas, parts of virginia and even into the jersey coastline but here is joaquin. it is now a category 3 hurricane we still do have hurricane warnings obviously up for parts of the bahamas. it's slowly pulling away but it has dumped tons of rain to those folks down there and created torrential downpours and

obviously very strong winds. so this right now is a category 3 with winds of 125, but notice it's picking up steam to the an hour. so eventually going to clear out of the bahamas, and the best thing about this one is it is headed out to sea. now it will make its closest pass to us near monday night into first thing tuesday before it finally pulls away and out of here. and notice when it is close to us, it's still hundred dretdz of miles off shore. for us any implication will currents. that's really about it. so closer to home, the big story this weekend unfortunately is still that rain, still that wind, and still that chill. and this morning, rain chances are on the higher side. you can see our radar is pretty active, but by this afternoon they're going to start to taper off especially if you live north and west of the mass pike. unfortunately, south and east, not necessarily going to keep some showers around.

as we get towards sunday, pretty much all of us start to dry out a bit. we're still going to have the clouds around. and i do still think there will be pockets of drizzle out there at least. once we get to monday we start to dry things out. how much rain are we talking about? only about two tenths of an inch to maybe a half an inch in some locations. which is mainly for southeastern mass. as we look at satellite and radar right now, here's what's happening. you can see a couple of showers out there. they are associated with this stationary front. and we also have those winds coming out of the north and east. they are quite problematic. as we go through the day today, notice the trend by 9:00. starting to lighten up those showers although still if you live along the cape and the islands you won't get out of them too easily. it is south of the mass pike with my greatest concern of seeing the rain. it's not a washout by any means today. the other thing, of course, we're watching high tide. coming at 4:00. we are looking because of the astronomically high tide for minor beach erosion and some

minor flooding. the other thing is we still have the wind advisory up until 3:00 p.m. for the cape and the islands. expecting wind gusts in excess of 45 miles per hour. with all that rain, you know, we have damp soil, that can easily pull down trees or power lines. be aware of that. notice the winds out there already. the gusts up to about 36 miles this morning. and that's keeping the temperatures down in the 50's. they're not going to budge all that much through the day today. so it's a chilly, raw, windy day unfortunately. and it continues into sunday. we are watching joaquin going off shore. as we did dip towards midweek, this is what i want to show you. look at these temperatures. warming up into the mid 60's on tuesday with some sunshine. a lot more sunshine by wednesday. 70 degrees. and by midweek, we are going to be loving it because unfortunately this weekend while it's not a washout, it definitely will be cold, damp and raw. antoinette and frank? frank: thanks a lot, danielle. time right now is 5:18.

we're following right now. antoinette: a suspect is in custody this morning after a tense standoff in colorado. police in arvada spent nearly four hours last night negotiating with a man who barricaded himself inside the lobby of their own headquarters. officials say the man was armed with a knife and a gun. the suspect surrendered peacefully, and no one was hurt. frank: right now, rescuers are searching frantically in guatemala where a devastating landslide has killed at least 26 people near guatemala city. the death toll expected to rise. officials say more than 600 are still missing. the massive tide of mud and rock rolled in after torrential rains thursday night. officials say many people did not heed evacuation warnings. antoinette: an alleged marijuana-growing operation busted at a home in ipswich. officers seized equipment and 78 plants said to be worth $100,000. 47-year-old richard blais is charged with illegally growing the plant at his home. police say an anonymous tip led them to blais. frank: a bad night for henry owens with the red sox and cleveland indians in the final

teams. david ortiz, back in the lineup last night, continued his hot hitting streak with his 37th homer of the year in the fourth inning. but that wasn't enough. cleveland held on to the lead. sox losing this one 8-2. the sox have just two games left in the season. craig breslow will start on the mound today. it's opening weekend at the topsfield fair, and what bigger way to kick it off than the annual new england giant pumpkin contest? antoinette: check this out. gary vincent from plainville, connecticut, taking home the top prize. his pumpkin tipping the scales at a whopping 1,992 and a half pounds! the pumpkin, which vincent nicknamed "hightower," came pretty close to breaking the 2,000-pound record set three years ago. all of the this year's pumpkins will be on display at the fair through october 12th. just seven-and-a-half pounds to break that record.

frank: what do you do with a one-ton pumpkin? antoinette: lots of pumpkin pie. a student aces his college boards. frank: a perfect score on his s.a.t.'s and that's not all. his other major achievement and who he says is his biggest motivator. rebuilding the mortgage process. the new federal law will taking effect this weekend making it

danielle: welcome back. i'm meteorologist danielle vollmar. unfortunately this morning, tracking some rain out there yet again and the temperatures, you can see the story here, in the 40's and 50's. get ready for another windy, raw, cool day out there. as we continue to leave showers in the forecast especially if you live south and east of the mass pike. now for today, high temperatures going to climb in the upper 40's , unfortunately worcester for you folks there lower 50's though at the coastline. those winds continue to be persistent so we're watching high tides. there's a wind advisory down for the cape and the islands until 3:00 p.m. as we go through the day today, that stationary front is over us, but the showers start to get towards this evening. and then tomorrow we are going to keep the clouds around. there could be a couple of isolated pockets of drizzle, and noah keen is floating closer to us but going well out to sea. no real implications for us.

antoinette: danielle, thank you. when it comes to standardized tests, a texas teen is far from standard. frank: antony yun achieved a perfect score on both the s.a.t. and the a.c.t. pretty tough to do. he says his older brother was a great role model and motivator. >> you could say that this runs in the family in a way since my brother also got a perfect score. in the back of my head, i always had the thought, okay, i have to at least tie my brother if not beat him. frank: hopefully all those smarts will soon be headed to cambridge. antony plans to study computer engineering and m.i.t. is on his short list. antoinette: we welcome him to the area. frank: coming up, disturbing text messages sent to a high school class president. antoinette: the students suspended and the meeting that set things right. and we are following breaking news in afghanistan. a hospital hit by a u.s.- led airstrike. the staffers killed and the doctors without boarders facility. >> this is an editorial by wcvb-tv channel 5 president and general manager bill fine.

bill fine: in the past several months, we've been embroiled in heated battles over immigration, proposals to build giant walls along our borders, battles over marriage rights, pitting religion against court rulings, battles over surging wage and income gap, and whether our environment should take a back seat to economic growth. with this as a backdrop, only the most optimistic might have predicted pope francis could have made a positive dent in our national conversation. after all, the 78-year-old pontiff had his own problems-- dealing with a church beset by clergy sex scandals, declining attendance, and an image of increasing irrelevance in a secular society. in five short days, the pope's exhausting itinerary encompassed memorable stops at the centers of power, a call on the white house, and speeches to congress and the u.n. most notably, his trip included a focus on the marginalized in our society, lunches with the homeless, visits with prisoners, and so many personal moments with the sick, the lost, and the heartbroken. pope francis met with a small group of victims of the church

sex abuse scandal while infuriating many others for initially praising american bishops for their courage in the crisis. he eventually surprised critics, acknowledging that some bishops were involved in a cover-up and pledging to hold all accountable, including bishops and other church leaders who hid the abusers. he will ultimately be judged by his actions among those who hope his pledge is fulfilled. conservatives and progressives all found things to like and dislike about the pope's message. and while pope francis's trip was aimed at encouraging american catholics, his visit ultimately helped elevate our national conversation: "be caretakers of creation. rise above differences. uplift the poor. be humble. work for justice and peace." pope francis left us with contrasting choices-- our country can work together to build bridges or we can focus

and taking it far out to sea. it will make it its closest pass to us overnight monday into tuesday and really all it will do for us closer to home is kick up that surf, maybe create some dangerous rip currents. closer to home this morning though, we're talking about showers. notice pretty good ones and steady ones along boston as well as the south shore. that is going to continue as we get towards, say, lunchtime and then i think things will start to wind down just a touch. we're still going to hang on to the clowz. we're still going to hang on to the wind. notice the temperatures stay in the low 50's for the day today. we'll talk about big changes in our weather pattern. when we can warm up and bring in some sunshine coming up. frank? frank: thanks a lot, danielle. we're covering breaking news overnightment an apparent tragic mistake in afghanistan. u.s. air strikes apparently struck a hospital killing three and injuring dozens of others. more than 30 others still

down as we get through this afternoon and then it is low tomorrow. really the best chances are going to be by the coastline. by monday, the rain threat is gone. and then we start to see more sunshine. so how much rain are we talking? not all that much. really only about a tenth of an inch. if you live and north and west of the pike. near a half an inch could be possible over the next 24-48 hours along the south shore, the cape, because you folks there are going to get persistent showers, i think, through much of the day today and a little bit maybe tomorrow. as far as satellite and radar right now, you see a couple of showers out there on the map. notice they're from worcester to leominster. there are some breaks though out there. and then there's some near boston, brockton. a little bit of a break eat of providence near lakeville. we're expecting more to continue as we go through the morning hours. this is all associated with this pesky stationary front that has not left. unfortunately, it will stick around and eventually wash out

tomorrow afternoon. so here is the future cast through the day today. notice the showers start to thin out by, say, 9:00 or so. and then by lunchtime, a lot of us just dealing with some clouds. we may actually start to dry out just a touch so today is not a washout like yesterday. in fact, a lot of us stay dry. the only exception, unfortunately, is southeastern mass, the cape and the islands. may hold on to those showers a little bit longer. we could see some redevelopment through the afternoon, but really it's hit or miss. notice the 12-hour timeline in boston keeping showers through about lunchtime and then just seeing really the cloudy skies. notice the temperatures in the low 50's today. it's a chilly one, folks. 40's in worcester. low 50's boston. portsmouth, concord. maybe a few upper 50's near the cape and the islands. but those winds, you're going to notice them and feel them. they're gusting right now up to 24 miles an hour in worcester. near 32-mile-per-hour wind gusts in plymouth. so that is why we do have that

wind advisory up especially here for the cape and the islands, expecting wind gusts in excess of 45 miles an hour at times until 3:00 p.m. today. the other thing these winds are doing is piling up the water on the coastline. with astronomically high tides we have to watch our coastline. the high tide today many coulding at 4:00. two hours before, two hours after. that's why that coastal flood advisory is in effect from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. tonight. expecting minor splashover. then all eyes turn our attention to attention joaquin. notice how far away it is from us. still on saturday morning. it is a category 3 hurricane so it weakened just a touch. it is is starting to move. it's taking a bee-line out to the north and east. it will make its closest pass to us monday night into first thing tuesday. at that time it will be a category 1 hurricane with really no impact on us except for kicking up our surf. and then as we head towards tuesday, wednesday, we start to

get more mild. i want to show wednesday because i know this weekend will not be all that nice and pretty. it will be chilly, windy and raw pretty much each day. today the damper of the two days. notice by wednesday lots of sunshine. mild conditions. temperatures warming into the mid to upper 60's and a few spots even seeing 70 degrees. we'll take that. antoinette and frank. antoinette: thank you. time is 5:47. here are some of the stories we are following right now. frank: the main suspect in the disappearance and death of university of virginia student hannah graham will spend decades in prison. jesse matthew was given three life sentences for a different case in virginia related to a victim who survived after being abducted and attacked by him. he still has to stand trial for the murders of u.v.a. student hannah graham and virginia tech student morgan harrington. antoinette: school administrators in wakefield, new hampshire, are planning to hold a forum next week to address concerns after elementary school students found syringes around school. the principal at paul elementary
